Triguard SC300E
The Triguard SC300E is a safety controller specifically designed for maximum availability for industrial safety and control applications. The Triguard SC300E system was created by pioneering ABB August (formerly August Systems), and has evolved along with contemporary technological progress over the last twenty years. It has a fully triplicated (TMR) system architecture from input module to output module. The three processors and triplicated I/O circuitry are completely transparent to the user. Triguard SC300E is TV approved according to RC 1-6 (SIL 1-3). It is a system of standard identical chassis, each chassis housing duplex load sharing power supplies, I/O and communication modules as required by the application, while the first one houses the three processors. A single system may be as small as one chassis or as large as fifteen, giving a potential maximum of 9,500 I/O. Operating system The Triguard SC300E has an operating system known as Real Time Task Supervisor (RTTS), which is installed in each of the three processors. During start-up and operation, RTTS runs comprehensive diagnostic routines that check and validate the correct operating parameters of each processor. Triguard can be used for emergency shutdown, process shutdown, critical process control, fire & gas monitoring and detection, rotating machinery control and virtually any other industrial safety and control application. Programming Application control logic for the Triguard SC300E is programmed in the Tribuild Engineering Workstation, a software package for Windows 95/98/NT, using relay ladder logic & structured networks. Hardware The Triguard SC300E safety controller, like its predecessors, uses Intel processor technology, with up to 4 MB RAM and a 1 MB EPROM. It has a real-time clock for data logging with a resolution of 10 ms.

All I/O module types provided for the Triguard SC300E share an element of common design, providing component rationalization and implementing distributed processing. I/O-modules can be fitted in any of the 10 slots in any chassis. They can be configured for single slot repair or dual slot repair. In the Triguard range of I/O-modules are included a line of high-end modules specific to fire and gas applications. These serve as a direct interface between fire and gas detectors and the Triguard SC300E, incorporating auto-test and maintenance functionality.

TriBuild Engineering Workstation

TriBuild is an easy to use, menu driven, software package running under Windows 95/98 or Windows NT. It is used for the creation of system configuration and application control logic for the Triguard SC300E safety controller. TriBuild provides on and off-line functions for configuration, programming, documentation and testing. The programmer can use either relay ladder-logic displays in structured networks or boolean function blocks. These can be developed quickly and efficiently with the assistance of 'search and replace' and 'cut and paste' functionality. Completed application control programs can be loaded into a Triguard SC300E system and the execution of the control program can be monitored on-line with the TriBuild Engineering workstation. TriCommand Operator Workstation TriCommand is a PC-based operator workstation software package. It provides real time system control and monitoring facilities. It operates as part of a Triguard SC300E system in a single station configuration or as multiple TriCommand stations for distributed applications. The workstations can be connected to Triguard via peer-to-peer, single, or dual serial communication links, networked via single or dual redundant LANs. TriCommand is Windows 95/98/NT compliant, and designed for efficient use.
The TriBuild Engineering Workstation and the TriCommand Operator Workstation offer comprehensive and quick access to the impressive functionality of Triguard SC300E.

TriLog Data Logger (forWin95/98/NT) TriLog is a message logger, designed to monitor Triguard SC300E controllers, accepting and storing sequence of event and alarm messages from each system. It uses a dedicated PC with Windows 95/98 or Windows NT compliance. Windows are allocated to display time and date together with current and automatically archived information from each system.

Advants Safeguard 400s Series

Safeguard 400 Series safety controllers are two of the main building blocks of ABB Safety. They combine the features of highintegrity programmable electronic systems for safety applications with the functionality and software architecture of modern process control stations. Safeguard 400 Series controllers are TV approved, RC 1-6, (SIL 13) programmable controllers intended for industrial safety applications. They are utilized for emergency shutdown, process safeguarding, fire & gas monitoring, critical control and equipment protection. Safeguard 400 Series are an integrated part of Advant OCS (Open Control System), and hold the complete object database for all detectors, sensors, manual call points and actuators. They also hold the configuration database for the integrated addressable loop control panels for fire and gas alarms that ABB provides. Safeguard 400 Series object databases offer a standard data interface, which simplifies application work regarding control logic, operator functions and the graphical design of displays. Safeguard 400 Series application logic is configured within a high-level function block-programming environment called AMPL.

For design and implementation of safety control logic, Safeguard 400 Series, together with AdvaBuild Safety Builder, offer a unique environment for engineering and implementation of cause and effect Safeguard 400 Series are based on a single or duplex architecture that utilizes refined versions of standard controllers from the ABB Advant OCS product platform. The idea of offering safety systems with high safety integrity combined with a generic ability to be easily integrated into modern control systems, is a core strategy in ABB Safety product development. Safeguard 400 Series safety controllers have two powerful Motorola 68020 CPUs (25 MHz), each with 8 MB RAM, and are delivered in two standard versions: Safeguard 410 is a compact version with capacity for approx. 400 inputs/outputs (I/O). The extended version, Safeguard 415, has a capacity for approx. 1,400 I/O. A single failure in the safety system will not prevent a safety action from being executed. Extensive diagnostic coverage is implemented per control branch, and if a failure is detected in one branch the other will ensure continuous protection.

Advant OCS Integration

Since the Safeguard 400 Series controllers are based on the Advant Controller 410, they can be fully integrated into an existing Advant OCS (Open Control System). Using the same Advant workstations, the same communications system, the same user interface and related hardware, Safeguard can function as an integral part of the DCS, thereby contributing to an improved flow of information, resulting in fewer errors. Operators and operational staff work on a system that is uniform both technically and operationally. Operator stations and printers can be dedicated to safety functions, while operators have quick and easy access to information in other parts of the system.

The integration of control system and safety system has many benefits, including improved information handling and a better instinctive overview of the facility

Safety specific software for Advant OCS

When safety and control systems are integrated, the operation of the Advant Controller 410 is transparent to the operator. Only the application program and system databases are visible, unless other functions are explicitly accessed. In the Advant Operator Workplace (UNIX or NT based), the primary software package is AdvaCommand. AdvaCommand is a family of operator control and interaction software, and provides functions for presentation of information, command entry, event and alarm handling, system status etc. The Advant Engineering Workplace (UNIX or NT based) is the standard engineering and configuration platform for Advant OCS. The primary software package is AdvaBuild, which covers all features needed for configuration and programming of the Advant OCS system, throughout all phases of the project from initial design to commissioning, maintenance and upgrading. The Advant Station 500 Information Management Station is utilized for processing of process data, statistics and general information management. AdvaInform is the software package supplied with this model. AdvaCommand Safeguard Handler AdvaCommand Safeguard Handler is an option to the AdvaCommand software, and is required for the handling of Safeguard 400 Series products.

Safeguard Handler is essential because it offers transparent duplication, allowing the duplex-configured Safeguard 400 Series to be operated as a single controller. The main function of AdvaCommand Safeguard Handler is the dual handling of the operator interface. AdvaBuild Safety Builder AdvaBuild Safety Builder is an option to the AdvaBuild software package. Designing and documenting cause & effect matrices is essential to industrial safety. A cause & effect matrix is a presentation of the relation between a set of process inputs and the actions they trigger. The configuration model used in AdvaBuild Safety Builder saves manual work and reduces possible errors in translating the matrix to control logic. AdvaInform Automatic Shutdown Report AdvaInform Automatic Shutdown Report is an option that can be added to the AdvaInform software package for information management purposes. Automatic Shutdown Report will document the course of events, as well as the status of all safety-related equipment, at every process shutdown in a given setting. Because this function is automatic, the workload and effort put into regular safety shutdowns can be significantly reduced. All necessary safety data is accessible minute by minute, day by day.

In the Advant Operator Workplace, Alarm and Event messages are stored and presented in chronological lists.
